A Few Words from Our Customers

I've had issues with some repair shops on my older BMW but these guys are amazing. Super professional and knowledgable and really seem to have the customer in mind.
I live in Los Altos but actually got a referral from a friend of brother who lives on the east coast so these guys have quite a good reputation. And it is well earned.
They even discouraged me from doing some repairs on my vehicle when I revealed that I might not be keeping it much longer. Never known a repair shop that would do that!

I found this place through a shop that closed a while ago. I did some research and German Motor Specialist had great recommendations so I decided to leave my car with them.
My E60 needed lots of work. Jason was my advisor and he took care of my car. He helped me plan out and prioritize the most important issues first. He was very thorough and explained everything in detail.
Not once did I feel like I was being taken advantage and lied to about what my car needed — which is exactly what I was hoping to find. I love this shop and had a great experience. I recommend and will be coming back in the future.

I had the best experience that is possible when dealing is car issues. I got a laundry list of issues from the dealership for my Audi. I went to German Motors and Jason was nothing but professional. He walked to each issue and explained the impact. Then they did their own check and came back with a prioritized list of issues highlighting what should be fixed and what to watch out for. I would highly recommend this repair shop

Excellent, communicative staff compared to other Audi service specialists we have used. Fair price for water pump and thermostat replacement, unlike dealer shops. Price and work clearly defined up front. No surprises. Timely turnaround (1 1/2 days). Excellent fast shuttle service to and from dealership. Will use them again and recommend you give them a try with your German buddy.

I love this business! They are very knowledgeable, responsive, clear in explaining what the car needs and why. Price wise they are very competitive and once you are an established customer they sometime offer ‘friends and family’ discounts. They are very fast in getting the work done and accommodate your schedule. If they don’t stock a part your car needs, they will order it and delivery is usually no later than next day. One thing I really appreciate is their honesty and integrity - always being honest about the car’s needs and never pushing not needed or not urgent work. They will tell you something might need attention and also when you should worry about it. Saied, the owner, is extraordinarily helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Highly skilled and very attentive professionals. They provided me with the detailed photos of the problems with my car and explained everything very well.
Though the price is higher than average i think it's worth it.

Always great, so happy my car is out of factory warranty and I get to work with Paul and Jason when my car needs some work, whether it's an oil change or sadly something worse, always happy to work with them.

I've been a happy customer of German Motor Specialist for 11 years. I first went there at a friend's recommendation. They do terrific work at far less cost than a dealer charges. These folks get people with multiple certifications which you'll see hanging on their wall. They also will not push you into repairs ahead of schedule. Saied Sadrzadeh proved this point yet again on my last oil change, meticulously detailing repirs I could address, but sticking to my request of an oil change only. His approach guarantees I'll be back at German Motor Specialist for my next 100K service, which is right around the corner. Bravo!

The inspection of our car prior to purchase was thorough and pointed a few areas that may lead to future repairs, but nothing urgent or major. It is a 2015 Audi. Paul provided a detailed verbal report in additon to the written evaluation. It gave us confidence to proceed with the purchase.

This place is great, I came here to get an independent inspection done on a CPO car I had just purchased. They caught a major issue that the dealership somehow "missed" in their 300 pt inspection, I took it back for a free repair and avoided what would've been some serious damage down the line. Jason was great to work with, and afterward he recommended me to a body shop that ended up saving me thousands on a repair. Fantastic service by people who care about what they do.

Outstanding service and trustworthy advisors - took our son's 528 in for intermittent squeaky brakes. Our rep, Paul Pizano, had them inspected and it was determined that there were no safety issues or opportunity for additional damage. It was recommended that if the occasional squeaks didn't bother us that a break job was NOT recommended at this time. It's refreshing to get an honest evaluation.
Thanks

I've had my Mini repaired here a couple of times, and I'm consistently impressed by the quality of the service. If you're looking for a BMW / Audi / Mini repair shop, I highly recommend this place for their competence and honesty. P.S. This is the cleanest auto repair shop I've ever seen.

They are awesome!
I bought my first BMW (used 2008 335i) in 2013 and have been coming to German Motor Specialist ever since. The entire team is very good and knowledgeable. I have never got the feeling that I am over paying. They explain each and every charge and answer all questions irrespective of how much time it takes.
On top of that, they work with your extended warranty and also provide shuttle service.

I don't know how there are so many good reviews here when these guys can't even do a basic alignment without trying to do a lot of unnecessary "repairs"....
